We took our new Labrador puppy Sonny there yesterday. We were taken care of by a really nice tech and veterinarian. They were informative, great with Sonny, and answered all our questions. Sonny is now doing so much better. Hopefully, we won’t need ER services for him again, but if we do, it’ll definitely be here, they were great.

I was very impressed with AcutePet — it was our first time taking our dog Griffin to this facility. The care and compassion was top notch and did not go unnoticed. During the exam, they take their time to really listen and gather all the facts to establish a plan of care. They are upfront about the potential cost for the care. We were pleased with the visit and the plan moving forward. Leaving our appointment we learned that our pup was pretty sick and needed additional, specialized care. Our dog had a complicated history and unfortunately we had to make the tough decision to make him more at peace/comfortable. We took him home for one more night and brought him back to AcutePet the following day to say our last goodbyes and again, what a compassionate group. They walked us through each step of the process and spoke and loved on Griffin like he was on of their own. I can’t thank the AcutePet team at Beavercreek for helping us through a very difficult time. I would recommend AcutePet to our family and friends! Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for taking such good care for our sweet Griffin!

AcutePet in West Chester is truly amazing! I don’t normally leave reviews but the service we experienced was that good. All staff members we came encounter with were above and beyond professional, friendly, kind, compassionate, and you can feel their love for these animals. They eased the pain of a very difficult moment with their love. Highly recommend ❤️

Truly the kindest staff and I couldn’t have asked for better people to help make the very difficult decision to put my sweet girl to sleep. Thank you guys for everything. Had the best 14 years with my sweet Macy bug and I’m glad she had a gentle, caring hand alongside us in her final moments.

I will have to say it takes a lot to impress me but this establishment did just that. Being a former vet tech, years ago, I like to think i know my way around the vet office and their procedures. From beginning to end the staff was professional, courteous, and empathetic towards my dog and myself. They were completely transparent with the tests, fees and anything else I wouod need for my dogs care. Most of all, they didn’t break my bank like other emergency vets would have. It was very reasonable. They also made it more convenient for me, making an appt with the west chester office instead of the Beavercreek which was booked up that evening. It was almost the same drive either way for me. Top notch service and prices. I wouod recommend anytime. I appreciate my vet, Dixie Vet Clinic in Vandalia, recommending them for me since I called at closing time. Thanks for all you do!!
